Fiore di Vigna

2008 Salento Primitivo

Cantine Paolo Leo Fiore di Vigna is a stunning expression of Primitivo hailing from the Salento region. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its rich ruby color, inviting you to explore the depths of its character. On the palate, it boasts a high level of acidity that balances beautifully with the lush, prominent fruit intensity, which highlights notes of dark berries, cherries, and hints of spice. The tannins are firm yet approachable, providing a structured backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. This vintage, crafted in 2008, delivers a harmonious blend of flavors that are both vibrant and satisfying, making it an exceptional choice for any occasion. Enjoy it alongside hearty dishes or simply on its own for an indulgent experience.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
